The Daily Teaser - 15-11-2011

Hmmm …

THAT was quite a night’s sleep …

I think …

There’s a lot of dots, there, I know, but that was certainly a bad night’s sleep.

Believe it or not … ? I actually had a nightmare.

Funnily enough, about leaving a packet of cigarette filters on a train, and forgetting to take with me when I got off, at a station.

Leaving me feeling rather angry, it has to be said.

Which is kind of what got me up at 5•30, this morning, would you believe!

No wonder I still feel ratty … !

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
